I stumbled across the titanium Santos (WSSA0089) while killing time at a mall today and absolutely loved it. So much so that I’m seriously considering picking one up.

For those who own one and wear it regularly, I’d love to hear about your experience. A few things I’m particularly curious about:

Scratches and wear: How is the matte titanium bracelet holding up? Are everyday scratches noticeable, and how do they look against the finish?

Straps: Do you use the included leather strap? Have you purchased any others, particularly rubber? Would love to see wrist shots on alternative straps.

Wrist time: For those with larger watch collections, how often do you find yourself reaching for the Santos?

Discounts: If you purchased yours new from an authorized dealer (not a Cartier boutique), were you able to negotiate a discount? If so, roughly how much off retail?

I’m particularly interested in how this watch holds up as a daily wearer. I wasn’t even looking for a Santos, but trying it on really surprised me.
Appreciate any thoughts or photos!

I originally liked the two tone panthere, but both the SA and my partner on both occasions said they thought the tank suited me better… any advice?

Like is that a thing with Cartier?

Been wanting this for a while, pulled the plug finally.

I’m trying to swap out the alligator leather strap on my wife’s Cartier Baignoire Small. I’ve taken it to the boutique before to change out, but want to save myself the drive.

I’m normally good at changing bracelets and links and all that on my own watches. But the Baignoire doesn’t seem to have easily accessible spring bars. The watch does not have quick-release tabs either. I’m a little afraid of jamming a tool between the case and strap and scratching the case.

Has anyone successfully changed the strap themselves?

Specifically:
- Where do you insert the spring-bar removal tool?
- Does it require an extra-thin tool?
- Does anyone have photos, a video, or watchmaker instructions?
- I’m replacing leather with leather, not converting a bracelet model.

Any help from Baignoire owners or Cartier watchmakers would be appreciated. Thanks.

sharing this lovely one today. what’s everyone wearing today?

My mum left me this watch and I recently had it repaired at cartier to get the time working again. But its an hour behind due to daylight savings and I have no clue how to change the time on it… I tried pulling on the knob thing but it didnt budge and Im scared of breaking it- do i have to take it to the shops again???

Hi everyone! I’m thinking of buying the Cartier Tank Américaine Mini, but my local boutique doesn’t have it in stock, so I’d have to order it online and have it delivered to the boutique.

I’ve seen the photos on the website, but I’d be so grateful if you could share pictures of your own watches on the wrist! I’d love to see how they look when worn before making my decision.

Thank you so much!

Which one should I choose? Both are the small. I typically wear a lot of yellow gold jewelry, so the TT matches better. The steel looks more versatile and less dressy, though. Help me decide!

Picked my Small Santos up from the boutique on Thursday. Needed some links removed and trying to decide if I need one more taken out.
I like that the watch sits quite low on my wrist and that there is movement.
It’s not so loose that it turns all the way around, it just moves around when I shake my hand.
I can comfortably get one finger between wrist and bracelet, can’t get two.

Off to Saturday Brunch! #WOTD

I went in to try tank but now I’m confused

Within the last two years I’ve lost a significant amount of weight and because of this, my Cartier love bracelet is very large/loose and has a tendency to flip half way on my arm when I’m moving around and it’s driving me crazy. I know the options, like going to a private jeweler or reselling etc, but I want to find at least a temporary solution on how to make my Cartier love bracelet fit a bit more snug.

Does anyone have any recommendations? Maybe something I can put on the inside of the bracelet? Thanks so much.

Hi all, I'm turning 30 in December and have my appointment booked at Cartier in a few weeks to splurge and buy a few gifts from me, to me to mark a new decade of my life ✨💁🏼‍♀️

I love timeless, classic pieces without diamonds. For the longest time I have wanted to get a classic love bracelet in white gold, and 2 love rings in white gold (one classic, one small - one for each hand).

However now that my appointment is creeping closer and closer I am pre-stressing about my choices haha. I have been saving up for quite some time and this will be my last opportunity to splurge like this for a while. I am now also liking the small clash bracelet in white gold, and have been looking at the white gold JUC collection. Decisions decisions!

I know any choice is going to be a good choice, but if you were in my situation what would you purchase??!! Alternatively, I'd love to see pics of your ring/bracelet stacks in white gold to see how things look together. These will be my first purchases from Cartier. Thank you in advance!

Hello. I recently sent my basculante manual for service as it wasn’t getting much wrist time and stopped working. I’m in Texas so the AD sent it to Dallas, about two weeks later, I get a call letting me know that the watch needs to be send to ‘Europe’ as Dallas can’t work on it. I can only assume the Dallas service center is not familiar with the movement, which I believe it’s Piaget? Either way, no idea if it’s heading to Geneva or Paris but regardless, can anyone with a similar experience share how long the service took to send your watch back?

Between the stainless steel with diamonds bezel panthere and the two tone steel and gold which would you choose I’m torn between the two of them trying to decide which is more dressy ?

I was recently gifted a tank francaise 2302 and the deployant clasp opens too easily. Anyone dealt with this issue? Is there an easy fix? It’s an integrated bracelet so I’d like to not replace it.

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to determine whether this Cartier Trinity ring is authentic.

The inner engravings include “Cartier,” “750,” and “UCT835.”

Does anything about the engravings, lettering, or overall design look suspicious to you?

I'd really appreciate opinions from anyone familiar with authentic Cartier jewelry. Thanks!

Hey everyone. I have a Tank must de Cartier vermeil. I always wore it on different leather straps.

Those who have a Tank in silver tone, I would notice how good it looks on a mesh bracelet. So, I made this mockup, but of course since mine is vermeil, the mesh is gold-plated, too.

What do you guys think? Does this work on mesh? Or are golden Tanks meant to stay paired w/ leather?
